KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 29): Green Packet Bhd saw its net loss widen to RM19.15 million in the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2021, from RM6.81 million a year ago, on the back of lower revenue.

Moving forward, the group said due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the overall business environment remains challenging.

The group also highlighted that KiplePay recently launched KipleMall, an online marketplace accessible through the Kiple mobile application that offers a one-stop shop for students’ essential educational needs.
